Message Whenever I drive around trying to find a viper to race, there never is one. Yeah, until I fill up with 91 pump gas on my way to pick my girlfriend up, sure enough a yellow RT10 pulls up next to me and kind of hangs there on a wide open freeway. I didn't even bother knowing that he'd pummel me at only 13.5 psi. :)

So with full exhaust I'm guessing the guy you raced was putting down about 430 rwhp and 480 rwtq. I'm actually surprised you didn't pull on him being that you are making about 40 more horsepower. Were you at high boost, race gas, timing bumped up, etc?

I couldn't really hear your car over his. Did you start out in 2nd or 3rd gear and brake boost? By 135, had you shifted to 5th? If not, I'm guessing the reason he is pulling you up top is because your power is dropping off closer to 400 whp at that speed while he is gaining more hp at that specific spot. I bet if you shifted to 5th (assuming you didn't), you'd pull right back up with him.
